benefits: – Immediate set-up and take-down user-access to all platforms. – Built-in flexibility in line with data compliance – no more login spreadsheets. – Edugate users have access to 182 federated services and through affiliation with
eduGAIN confederation – users can take advantage of an additional 2,452 services. As technology sprawl grows, Blueface is focused on consolidating services with a vision for the future of communication and digital agility.
